If your dream is big enough, not even your enemies can stop you.
Charlie Trumper's earliest memory is of hearing his grandfather's sales patter from behind k his costermonger's barrow. When Grandpa Charlie dies, young Charlie wants nothing more than to follow in his footsteps- his burning ambition is to own a shop that will sell everything: the biggest barrow in the world.
Charlie's progress from the teeming streets of Whitechapel to the elegance of Chelsea Terrace is only a few miles 'as the crow flies'. But in Jeffrey Archer's expert hands it becomes an epic journey through the triumphs and disastersof the last century, as Charlie follows a thread of love, ambition and revenge to fulfil the dream his grandfather inspired.
